WOW! That is A LOT of comm!
Here is a companion video off of YouTube showing that last short field approach and landing from the outside. It is interesting to know what is going on behind the scenes isn't it? (Notice the nose wheel come up off the deck at the end a little)

How about this one... looks like they blew a tire on this landing.

I guess I'm surprised they don't blow more tires doing this.

I have flown hundreds of hours of low level in hercs... and we never talked that much..... as for the short field landing.... thats nothing that ever tactical airland C-130 crew does all the time.
Great low level video...... 300 feet at 210-250 in the herc is a LOT of fun.

I was able to snag a ride from a fellow Texas alum in a 2006 airshow. I had the seat to the left of the camera angle and I did the whole flag thing too.
I was amazed at the chatter as well. All the Blues operate on a call sequence with known calls and pacing. Fat Albert is no different. It may be excessive but it works. FWIW, I'll take the RadAlt calls if I ever get to see 300KIAS at 50'.
The E-6 pilot/T-44 IP within me thought it was fun. The former T-34 IP within me was a little bored outside of the high speed low pass
Although it is busy, it still is a great example of CRM, required calls/responses and the handling of cockpit duties as the pilot, copilot and FE move inside/outside the cockpit.
